Tasmania-based Artist Duncan Meerding illuminates the forest with his Cracked Log Lamp by using only salvaged wood that otherwise would have been burnt. He has turned them into a vessel for light, can bring the outside in, and be reminded us of our intrinsic connection with nature. The artist clarifies that being legally blind has motivated his minimalist yet impactful designs. Though legally blind, this vision of light emanating from the peripheries and the highly tactile nature of my work reflect the alternative sensory world within which I design.
